So where is coverage of the other American tourist from that boat who had a stroke the previous day ashore, boat's medical staff decided to move her to a local hospital, didn't notify her family in Oregon, kept her clothes etc. on board, and the next day the hospital discharged her.
The boat wouldn't take her back on board either. The good guys took care of her, found her suitcase left at the dock (where the ship had never tied up), and later her credit cards and some IDs were found under a seat in a taxi. The people some of you dismiss, loaned her money, arranged her flight to Lisbon and to the USA, and her family was grateful.
San Tome is not your average port, and the local coast guard took the nine out to the ship before any anchors were hoisted. They were given their passports.
The ship didn't even go to its next port so time didn't matter, and an island far offshire didn't have enough tidal fetch to make "catching the tide" any bit of importance.
